Djokovic on his sports longevity: Over 15 years I take care of my body and mind - 1

24-time Grand Slam champion Novak Djokovic revealed the secret of his longevity, reported Sportal.

The Serbian tennis player is still number one in the world, even though he is almost 37 years old.

"I have dedicated more than 15 years to taking care of my body and mind. This bears fruit. Thanks to this, at almost 37 years old, I am number one and can play at the highest level. I'm glad that I was able to understand quite early how important it is to take care of myself and my team.

I have a strategic plan: to play as long as possible to give myself a chance to win more trophies and break more records. This is what I have been doing for the past five years. Maybe after 30 years I have experienced the best part of my career. And all this is thanks to the care of myself and the attention I pay to my health”, said Djokovic at a press conference.
